Electrical Searches for Bullets.

When President Garfield was slowly dy-
ing at Elberon, and the attending sur
geons Were locating the fatal bullet in
spots clear away from where, after death,
il was discovered, an electrical apparatus
was constructed by Professor Graham
Bell for the purpose of finding the bit of
lead. The failure was ridiculed, much TO
the chagrin Of Bell and the doctors. The
discovery has since been made that Gar
field lay on a metallic mattress. which
frustrated the electricity. Now. under
the sanction of the New York academy of
medicine, a machine has been constructed
and tested. The machine consisted of a
battery, tolls and other familiar tele
steel probe connected with the wires in Il
manner invented by Bell. The surface of
the patient over an imbedded bullet was
cocained, so as to deprive il Of feeling.
Then the probe was thrust in. As the end
of the steel came within six inches of the
bullet, the surgeon with his ear to tele-
phonic cup heard a humming sound,
which grew louder as the metal was ap-
preached. The flesh was jabbed num-
Der of times, and the trial was regarded
as success. Later, war veteran sub
mitted 20 a search for bullet that had
entered mis- chest and remained somewhere
in him for twenty years. The needle
huIpmed its way to the leads hiding place
and it was removed DIR. John II. Grid
ner, who operated the instrument, said
that its use would have saved Garfield S
life in all probability.-New York sun.

A Popular Tallary.

1t is popular fallacy that the use OF
glasses should be delayed as long as pos
sIble, for fear they will become indis-
pensable. The fact is that among civ
Iized reading and thinking beings who
have any proper appreciation of the value
of time they have already become indis-
pensable to those who can work more
easily with them than without them. We

BY working the cillary muscle very
hard We can overcome the rigidity Of the

such effort merely Obliges us TO close our
